Book Description

Publication Date: 1973

This volume carries on the fascinating story of the early days of the trucking industry when vehicles were virtually "custom made" until quantity assembly production methods were introduced. It concentrates on the Kenworth Truck Company, when it was making trucks as Gerlinger & Gersix, and the difficult period when the company took in everything from horses and harnesses to alfalfa hay as down payment, till the company found its purpose and direction...there are 170 rare photographs, with descriptive notes, which provide a nostalgic view of the early truck pioneers of the road. (from the dustjacket)
